Non-human criminology is a proposed area of non-speciesist scholarship that focuses on non-human animals as victims of harm. This Entry provides an overview that demonstrates the types of activity that victimologists would undertake to reveal more about these neglected victims. The development of non-human animal victimology is briefly contextualised in the context of existing scholarship on non-speciesist criminology, after which the non-human animal as victim is considered. A brief introduction to victimology is provided, and the status of non-human animals as ‘ideal victims’ is considered. Theories and philosophies relating to non-humans as victims, both legally and conceptually, are outlined and the benefits and challenges of pursuing a non-human animal victimology agenda are discussed.
